dragonlady7Remember how I was ranting about the use of "and/or" in the pseudolegaleze bullshit I was transcribing?

This, I promise you, is VERBATIM and UN-EDITED, except the company name was removed. The document is titled "Accident Investigation".
Do they possibly mean "investigated" instead of "conducted"?

(It still wouldn't really make sense if the right verb were in it, but at least it wouldn't directly contradict the conventions of reality.)
